Chapter 38: Spells
After spitting out that mouthful of black blood, I felt much better.
When I was lucky, I felt a surge of air rushing towards my fingertips, and when I closed up, I unexpectedly found that my fingertips were lingering with a faint golden yellow, fleeting.
This should be the Gu Spiritual Qi stolen by Miao Yi, right?
Growing up like this, it was the first time I really got in touch with cultivation, and I had a little bit of success, so I was very excited.
Grandma said that Gu cultivation can't be in a hurry, you have to take it slowly, then I'll accumulate over time, and one day it will be effective, right?
At that time, I will have the ability to protect myself, and I will no longer have to be dependent on anyone and be coerced by anyone.
I was thinking about it when I suddenly heard footsteps outside, and I was startled and quickly put on my shoes and stood up.
Before I could walk out, Mo Jiuqi came in with my mother.
My mother was in a mess, with injuries and red eyes.
When they saw me, they jumped up and hugged me and cried.
"I'm sorry Huanhuan, I'm really sorry, it was my mother who was gullible and almost hurt you."
In fact, compared with my mother's gullibility of Miao Yi, I am more concerned about why she supports the village chief and helps Liu Xizhen settle in the Snake Temple.
My mother obviously knew this, and cried and said: "Build a snake temple, please ask for a tablet, and worship the snake fairy for 30 years, this is the promise of our family to Baojiaxian at the beginning, so when the village chief proposed to build a snake temple, I pushed the boat down the river and agreed." ”
"But Liu Xiyun was obviously sealed before." I was puzzled, "If it weren't for you, the seal of the ancestral tomb would not have been broken, and Liu Xizhen would not have been able to come out for the time being, wouldn't it?" ”
"You don't understand." My mother glanced at Mo Jiuqi in embarrassment, as if it was a little difficult to speak.
Mo Jiuqi was calm: "You say, don't mind my existence." ”
My mother was a little afraid of Mo Jiuqiu, although she got his approval, my mother still leaned over to me again and didn't speak.
Mo Jiuqi turned around and went out.
I said anxiously, "Mom, what do you have that you can't say in front of him?" ”
"Huanhuan, I thought that with Miao Yi here, I would definitely be able to protect you from worry-free, so I planned to swallow that little in the village, and I wouldn't tell you until I died."
My mother took my hand, paused, and continued, "But now, I can't hide it, Huanhuan, in fact, the fundamental reason why I promised the village chief is to save your life." ”
I frowned: "What is the connection between worshipping Liu Xizhen and my life?" ”
"The death of that schoolgirl back then was not so simple." My mother lowered her voice and said, "Everyone thought that she hanged herself because she didn't want to marry Wang Dazhu, but in fact, the real cause of her death may be for sacrifice." ”
"Sacrifice!" My heart jumped, "Is it really a sacrifice?" ”
Gong Hanzhang also insisted that Cao Qian was sacrificed.
My mother nodded and said: "I don't know much about the sacrifice, this is a secret hidden in Dushui Village, but the matter involves the Wang family, and the village chief has endured it in many ways, which shows that the death of the schoolgirl is not simply because of avoiding marriage." ”
"And the two people who broke into Dushui Village today and asked for someone from Liu Xianye, they didn't come early or late, but they came at the critical moment when the snake fairy settled in the snake temple, which is enough to show that the female student was sacrificed, and without the snake fairy coming forward, they would not return the soul of the female student."
I see.
"As for why I agreed to help the village chief, it's because there is a lingering spell in Dushui Village, that is, every time a snake temple is built, a girl must be sacrificed accordingly, and when the snake temple was built for Liu Xianye, the girl just died, and that was a sacrifice."
It dawned on me.
At the beginning, the village had promised to build a snake temple for Liu Xizhen to enshrine his tablet, and at the same time, the schoolgirl was sacrificed, which had completed the spell.
It's just that later, due to various reasons, the snake temple has not been built, and it has been delayed until now.
If it is Mo Jiuqi who settles in the Snake Temple, then there must be a new girl who falls under the spell and completes the sacrifice, and if it is built for Liu Xizhen, she can escape this curse.
I'm so close to Mo Jiuqi, and it's a full yin life, if I need to sacrifice, I'll bear the brunt.
That's why my mother cooperated with the village chief to lie to me, and her starting point was indeed to save my life.
Mo Jiuqi also knew this very well, and when I went to beg him, he gave up his plan and entered the Snake Temple, taking advantage of the gap when Liu Xiyun broke through the seal, and broke into my ancestral tomb.
Although I don't know what Mo Jiuqi is trying to find from my family's ancestral grave, his entanglement with my family must be deeper than it seems.
"Huanhuan," my mom whispered, "what the hell are you going to do?" Do you really want to abandon Immortal Liu and follow this black snake? ”
I asked rhetorically, "Mom, do you think Liu Xizhen is reliable?" ”
"Immortal Liu is the Baojia Immortal attached to your grandfather's generation, and he must be kind to my family." My mother pondered, "But today in the Snake Temple, during the fight, I found that his subordinates, those little snakes were all surrounded by black qi, and they all looked like they were possessed by yin and evil qi, which is not like a regular way of cultivation." ”
Not only did my mom notice this, I found out too.
"Mom, what kind of power do you guess Liu Xizhen used to break through the seal?"
My mom smacked, "You mean...... The visions that happened in the village last night were related to Immortal Liu? ”
"I'm afraid it's not enough." I clenched my fists, "The coffin, the sacrifices, all kinds of poultry movements, and even the little snake that disappeared for no reason and possessed by yin and evil all show that Liu Xizhen's return is with the help of some unspeakable power." ”
If Liu Xizhen was following the right path of cultivation, how could he tolerate the minions in his hands touching those evil things?
My mother's face became worse, and she said restlessly: "If you can't even rely on our family's Baojia Immortal, Huanhuan, who else can really protect you!" ”
My mother couldn't let down her guard against Mo Jiuqiu.
Mo Jiuqi is also a sand that I can't grasp for me, and this man is beyond my control.
"Huanhuan, you go to Miaojiang, go alone!" My mother suddenly took my hand and persuaded, "Now only your grandma can protect you, Huanhuan, go to your grandma." ”
I shook my head: "Mom, Miao Yi can jump up and down on Jiangcheng, which means that grandma's current situation is probably not good." ”
"Then you should go to her!" My mother said excitedly, "She is old and precarious, if you can't even see her for the last time, it will be your lifelong regret!" ”
My mother's words made me think deeply.
Yes, knowing that my grandmother's condition is not good, I should go to Miaojiang to find her and save her from danger, even if I can't save her, I still have to see her for the last time.
But right now, how can I leave the matter on Jiangcheng's side?
Thinking of this, I hurriedly asked, "Mom, how are the two people who went to ask for someone now?" Did they also withdraw together? ”
